Customize CA-GSS for IDCAMS

CA‑GSS/ISERVE makes the facilities provided by the IBM Access Method Services (IDCAMS) available to IMODs.

Ensure that the IDCAMS load module is available. This module must reside in an APF‑authorized LINKLIB data set and be accessible to CA‑GSS/ISERVE.

To customize CA-GSS for IDCAMS

1. Modify your GSSA system PROCLIB member.

   If the IDCAMS load module is not in a LINKLIST Library, include its library as a STEPLIB in the CA‑GSS PROC(BYSGSSA).

2. Modify CA‑GSS parameters.

   As needed, modify the CA‑GSS initialization parameters that affect CA‑GSS' IDCAMS support. Examples of these parameters are contained in the IDCAMS member of the CAW0OPTN data set.

   Most parameters in the IDCAMS member are commented out. To activate one of them, replace its leading asterisk (*) with a blank.

   You can copy the contents of the IDCAMS member to your RUNPARM member, or you can simply provide an INCLUDE IDCAMS statement.

   • The ADDRESS parameter makes the ADDRESS environment provided through the IDCAMS load module available to REXX IMODs.
   • CA‑provided IMODs expect the address name IDCAMS. If you use another name, use the ALTNAME parameter to define the name IDCAMS.
